I used to get neat tables of my character’s characteristics, habits, etc produced in a format similar to how you’d see them in a word document, based on examples I’d provided. Suddenly all I can get are white-on-black tables in what looks to me like the BASIC that forms the top end of my coding ability. They have all of the data I want but not in the readability I want, I have to faff about with a scroll bar. And with recent memory issues attemts to get a better format mean I have to remind the AI of what I wanted as soon as I get cloe to the correct format.
The black square you see is a markdown code block. Yes, there has been more training on putting things in markdown, making it near impossible for developers to use and render HTML because the models are made purely for ChatGPT.
Knowing what they are, you can tell the AI that the table must be shown in the user interface in markdown, and that code blocks make of triple backticks are prohibited.

What are the magic words for that? As I alluded to in the OP, getting a sprite of a tank to cross the screen of a BBC computer is about the top end of my coding knowledge, what I want to see is a table, I assume with the correct wording I could put it in my Custom Instructions and not have to worry about it.
This sounds like what you may want:
“Output: ChatGPT GUI render interface supports markdown, but does not support a markdown code block (container with ```). Markdown is encouraged, especially for tables, without excess white space within tables, but do not produce code block containers.”

You’re a scholar and a gentleman, that worked perfectly, both in a prompt to correct a previous table and as a general custom instruction.
